The Ghost Soldier
The Claim
A true war story does not restrain men from doing things they have always done
"We hadregular hours. There was an EM club with beer and movies, sometimeseven live floor shows, the whole blurry slow motion of the rear."
A true war story never has rectitude
"I hated him for making me stop hating him."
A True War Story Is Never About War
"I wanted to hurtBobby Jorgenson the way he'd hurt me. For weeks it had been a vow—I'llget him, I'll get him—it was down inside me like a rock. "
A true war story embarasses you
"After a second he shook his head. "Man,I'll tell you something. You're a sorry, sorry case."I was trembling"
A true war story does not suggest models of proper human behavior
"Sometimes I'd roam around the base. I'dhead down to the wire and stare out at the darkness, out where the warwas, and think up ways to make Bobby Jorgenson feel exactly what I felt.I wanted to hurt him."
